on the issue of the obama administration, during the 2008 campaign, president obama criticized the bush administration's treatment of detainees. candidate obama promised to close guantanamo and to reject torture without exception or equivocation. he also criticized the previous administration for executive secrecy, included repeated invocation of the state's secret privilege to get civil lawsuits thrown out of court and the promise to lead a new era of openness. the administration has fulfilled some of those promises, and conspicuously failed to fulfill others. in some cases because congress has blocked them, but in other cases for reasons of their own. as asa mentioned earlier, high- level secrecy surrounding the rendition and torture of detainees since september 11 cannot continue to be justified on the basis of national security. the authorized enhanced techniques have been publicly disclosed and the c.i.a. has approved its former employee's publication of detailed accounts of individual interrogation. ongoing classification of material documenting these practices serves only to conc

a policy decision the obama administration has made. he was a american citizen and naturalized last september and now a federal law, the national defense authorization act of 2012 that says american citizens cannot be tried in military commission. so it's not -- this debate is not a question about where he should be tried. the republicans who say he should be treated differently, their claim is that while they understand the civilian trial will go forward, they think he should be treated for now as an enemy combatant and questioned without any question about his rights, without any issue about whether information he gives would be used in his trial, and then turn back over to civilian authorities. but, clearly, the justice department will have none of that. that's not how it's going to go. >> he's in a boston hospital under heavy guard and serious condition including a gunshot wound to the throat but he is responding to some questions to a team the federal investigators in writing. any indication as to what he is saying or maybe perhaps

especially our older neighbors, our parents and grandparent because president obama keeps the promise of medicare unlike the republican plan. the republican plan, again, proposes to turn medicare to a voucher. it doesn't decrease cost over time. it simply shifts the cost to our older neighborhoods and parent and grandparent. it's not consistent with american values. at the time when, as you noted, we have a new demographic prices with the retirement of a baby boom population. you keep the promise and you achieve savings in medicare through important reforms. so thank you for that. the other stark contrast is in long-term care for our older neighbors. i mean, it is it has not got an lot of attention. because people know and understand medicare a lot more. but the horrible cuts that the republican budget makes to the ability of our parents and grandparents to live their retirement year in dignity is scandalous, in my view. med -- medicaid allows people to stay in their homes and not enter skilled nurses. at the end of their life or with a diagnoses they are able to have dignity and get
